They somehow removed my first review, in which I described how their vet misdiagnosed my dog (confirmed by a specialist). Just one more for this dishonest practice. Beware.

First time visiting this vet. Although my dog doesn't like going to the vet, I thought it was nice place. The lobby was clean and has a nice layout. The technician and doctor were very inquisitive and seemed concerned and not "let's try a couple things, give him some pills, and get him out the door'". We'll be back in the future.
